At the EVO 2013 Street Fighter panel, a Capcom Cup was announced that will feature the 8 best players in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

The first qualifier would be EVO 2013 itself. Capcom said that they don't have the resources to run a tournament like the 25th Anniversary again, and will use the World Cyber Games partnership and Capcom Cup to fill the void.

Great news all around. It really comes as no surprise; with reveal of the Capcom Cup. Taking a peek @ Ono' San's Twitter page with his trusty Blanka friend; he spotlighted quite a few of the renowned FGC competitors (i.e. Sako, Daigo, and Justin Wong respectively.)

For those hankering for more substantial news; from Capcom; keep in mind SDCC is lomming...

It doesn't matter if you think Marvel is trash, the number of players at evo and evo seeding tournaments shows that more people are lined up for it than SFxT. It's even to the point where smaller tournaments are dropping SFxT because they dont have a large enough contestant pool.

Hey we all like talking trash about other games, but when the numbers are double the players in Marvel at this evo compared to SFxT I think its easy to see why Capcom picked two of their most popular and marketable franchises.
